Welcome to Boys & Girls Clubs of Green Country

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Green Country, located within the Cherokee Nation, is one of the premier Clubs in the United States, serving kids ages 8-18.

 The Results Are In! 

 In keeping with our mission, To inspire and empower ALL youth to reach their full potential as caring, productive and responsible citizens, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Green Country commissioned a research project. Harris Poll Interactive is designed to assess alumni experiences in Clubs and the impact that participation had on their lives. The main objectives of the research were to:   

 

  • Examine benefits of length of membership and frequency of attendance;
  • Uncover impact of Club membership on adult outcomes including education, employment, family situation, health and avoidance of risk

     Alumni reported that Boys & Girls Clubs continue to have both an immediate and long-lasting impact on their lives. Key findings:

    • 4.6 years-total years of participation
    • 5.0 days a week-alumni frequency of attendance
    • 26% of alumni-earned a college degree
    • 42% of alumni-the Club helped them to graduate high school
    • 37% of alumni-achieved a higher level of education than thought possible
    •  97% of alumni-"helping others is a priority of mine"
    • 93% of alumni-are satisified with their life
    • 81% of alumni-participating in the Club "really saved my life"

    Thank you to our alumni for helping with research project. The Staff and Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Green Country value you more than we can say!

    FOR THE KIDS,
